The ancient treasures handed down from the ancestors of the cloisonne craftsmanship of Ming Jingtai let 　　 modern and contemporary jewelry design and craftsmanship flourish, while the traditional Chinese jewelry making craftsmanship is also silently passed on. The jade carving craftsmanship developed for more than 7000 years began with the filigree craftsmanship of the Shang Dynasty. The ancient treasures handed down from the ancestors of the cloisonne craftsmanship that prevailed in the Ming Jingtai allow us to fully appreciate these rich and diverse, extensive and profound handicraft techniques. It is the brilliant civilization of the Chinese nation and China. The best testimony of the ingenuity of a master jeweller.　　 The most complicated art: Cloisonne 　　　　 Cloisonne 　　　　 Cloisonne 　　　　 Cloisonne is also known as'Copper cloisonné enamel'. It was popular during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty and its production skills were relatively mature. The enamel glaze used was mostly blue, hence the name'cloisonne'. Cloisonne is the crystallization of art, craftsmanship, engraving, inlay, metallurgy, glass smelting and other technologies. It needs more than 10 processes such as design, tire making, filigree, dot blue, blue burn, grinding, gilding, etc.　　The oldest art: jade carving 　　　　Chinese jade carving craft has a long history of continuous development for more than 7,000 years. It originated in China and matured and prospered in feudal society. It is a relatively complex craftsmanship, with unique beauty, taste, style and value of each work. The masterpieces of jade carvings in history were not only used by the emperors, dignitaries and connoisseurs of past dynasties, but also interpreted and beautified by ritual scholars, becoming special works of art with political, religious, moral, cultural, wealth and other connotations.　　 The most gorgeous art: filigree inlay 　　　　 filigree process, also known as fine gold process, the tired silk process, is to draw gold, silver, copper, etc. into filaments, and then shape them by pushing, filigree, weaving and other processes. It first began in the Shang Dynasty, and the gold and silver headdresses became popular in the late Western Han Dynasty. The filigree craftsmanship uses rare materials and complex craftsmanship. It has always been a royal item, a palace art, and one of the traditional crafts of my country's traditional luxury goods. It has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture. The most traditional art: Engraving began in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and was popular in the Warring States Period. The production methods of engraving on gold and silver are mainly engraving and carving. Common patterns include peony, chrysanthemum, eight immortals, fairies, Chinese traditional shapes such as birthday stars, unicorns, dragons and phoenixes, birds and landscapes. The operation process of the engraving process is relatively complicated and technically difficult. The craftsman needs to have the foundation of painting and sculpture, master multiple professional techniques such as fitter, sheet metal, casting, welding, etc., and have a certain understanding and appreciation of traditional culture ability.　　 The most handmade art: Diancui has a long history, dating back to the Warring States period, and reached its peak during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a perfect combination of traditional Chinese metal craftsmanship and feather craftsmanship. First, gold or gilt metal is used to make a base with different patterns, and then the bright Turkish blue feathers on the back of the kingfisher are carefully inlaid on the seat. Dian Cui must be extracted from live kingfishers to ensure the bright and gorgeous colors. Due to the complexity of its production process, coupled with the needs of the times such as environmental protection, this traditional craft has almost been lost. In order to pass on the craft, people began to study the imitating Diancui craft. The finest art: Gold and silver ingots. The craftsmanship of gold and silver ingots first began in bronzes in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The technique of expression is to draw exquisite patterns on the surface of the ware, and to cut out the grooves in the shape of the pattern, and pull pure gold or pure silver. It is made into filaments or pressed into thin slices to be embedded in the pattern, and then smoothed and polished. The gold and silver cooper craftsmanship is a product of the combination of copper culture and iron culture. With the passing of the glorious age of bronzes, the craftsmanship of gold and silver coopers has gradually withdrawn from the historical stage. Nowadays, the craftsmanship of gold and silver has gone through the continuous efforts of contemporary arts and crafts masters, and finally the craftsmanship that has been lost for thousands of years is fully restored.　　　　 The above is the information about the jewelry processing technology summarized by the author for you.
